"Jaegur has lot's of shallow experience, tax consultant, a reformed financial analyst, an ordained minister, property inspector, financial journalist with 410+ published articles, embodied-dance facilitator, sectional-title property manager, author of six published book and counting, who has lectured on topics ranging from tax-structuring, to audiences of 8,000+, appeared on radio and television, and built a reputation for untangling complex systems — financial, ideological, and human — with wit as dry as an audit report, and considerably more entertaining.
"I am continually re-inventing myself, which is why I disregarded my given Christian names - Craig Geoffrey - for my non-Christian name - Jaegur," he was once quoted as saying. Initially a writer of non-fiction, he realised that you can share timely, relevant and essential information through imagined characters, interacting with the real world in a far less limiting manner. His journey writing novels that live at the intersection of fact and fiction commences with the first book in 'The Borrowed Belief Series' called Taylor, Saylor, Poorman, Thief.
The greatest gift that we can give to ourselves us to allow ourselves first to truly feel and then to truly think. The first book speaks to our feelings and then our thoughts around money, especially in the context of borrowed belief — those ideas we inherited, never questioned, and which quietly shaped us. "I hope to engage with and transform the thinking of my readers by drawing them into the lives of my characters and the narrative. Lasting change happens more readily when you arrive at conclusions by observing and reasoning than being instructed."
He imagines a better world without dogmatic follows of ideology — and without people delegating their thinking to leaders, machines and institutions. A world where people can return to being authentic and living with open-hearted unconditional love.
